Cielo Rooftop: Valley Views, Riviera Vibes & Cocktail Confessions

By www.BrisVegas.com.au

Perched high above the chaos and charisma of Fortitude Valley, Cielo Rooftop is the kind of place where your inner Euro jet-setter can come out to play—without the need for a passport or a long-haul flight. Think Amalfi Coast meets BrisVegas sass, with killer cocktails and sunsets to match. If you’re chasing that perfect blend of luxe, leisure, and just a little bit of mischief, welcome to your new rooftop romance.

Let’s talk aesthetics: Cielo is effortlessly cool with its pastel tones, lush greenery, and Mediterranean curves that would make a Santorini beach blush. Whether you’re propped against the bar, lounging on one of their cushy banquettes, or twirling under festoon lights to a live DJ set, there’s a sexy buzz in the air. You’re not just having drinks—you’re making an entrance.

Now, onto the liquid lineup, and oh baby, it delivers. Cielo’s cocktail menu is curated by none other than the team from Sydney’s Maybe Sammy—regularly ranked among the world’s best bars. Translation? These aren’t your average spritzers.

Start with the “Sunset Lover”, a photogenic pink concoction of vodka, strawberry shrub, rose, and bubbles that tastes like flirtation and filters. If you’re feeling feisty, the “Negroni al Mare” (with a splash of saline and a whiff of mischief) will do the trick. For something a little cheeky, try the “Ciao Bella”—a refreshing mix of gin, citrus, and elderflower that goes down dangerously easy.

Need a nibble? The Italian-inspired bar menu hits the spot. The arancini balls are golden bombs of cheesy joy. The prosciutto and mozzarella bruschetta is salty, creamy, and entirely addictive. And don’t skip the crispy calamari—a must-try that pairs brilliantly with a spritz (or three).
